Exhorder Tentatively Planning To Release New Album In 2027
During a recent appearance on the Pod Scum podcast, Exhorder’s Kyle Thomas offered an update on the band’s new album plans. According to him, the group have started working on material for the effort and a 2027 release is likely.
Thomas said the following:
“At the moment, I’m kind of in the middle of recording a new TROUBLE album. I gotta get back on to it and get busy with it again. We’re planning on releasing that next year and doing some touring.
But EXHORDER is back in the mindset of, okay, in March it’ll be two years since this album was released. Touring cycles for albums are typically a two-year run now instead of a one-year run like it used to be. So we’re feeling that, okay, now it’s time. The good news is, is we’ve fulfilled our contractual obligation to our label. But we’ve already talked with them about, ‘Well, if y’all wanna work again, let’s talk.’ So I have no concern of whether or not we’re gonna have a record deal. It’s just a matter of how it’s gonna happen and when.
We have just really kind of gotten started on the content for that next album. I’ve got probably fewer cohesive ideas than Jason [VieBrooks] does. Jason’s got probably four to six structures and skeletons of songs that will eventually be songs, and he’s recorded four of those with Sasha [Horn], just to kind of see what’s gonna work and what’s not — just pre-production, normal pre-production.
My stuff’s a lot more jumbled. I’ve got so many videos of riffs — a lot of good stuff, and I know a lot of it’s probably not gonna make it to the album, but I haven’t had the time really to focus on it that Jason has, and I’m okay with it because Jason, musically, has been the one carrying the weight on his shoulders, as far as coming up with songs for last couple of albums. So I’m happy that he’s good at that and enjoys doing it because it takes a lot of responsibility and burden off of me if I’m not able to get to it soon enough. So it doesn’t matter to me if this time I only have two songs instead of four that made it to the album.
And now that we’ve got [former CANNIBAL CORPSE guitarist] Pat [O’Brien] interested [in contributing to the songwriting], say Pat’s got two of ’em. Let’s say Pat’s got two or three of ’em, I got two or three of ’em, and Jason’s got four or five of ’em, already we’ve got more songs than we need.”
He continued when asked about release plans:
“I’m gonna say 2027. We don’t wanna ever be in a rush.”
